Chapter 1 Overview

Cisco Access Registrar 4.2 Licensing

CAR can be deployed in a two-tier architecture—front-end and back-end server. The front-end server performs AAA functions and it needs the base license and the TPS license. The back-end server performs session management functions and it needs the secondary license.

CAR can be deployed in an active/stand-by server combination (with Sun clustering solution). Active server performs all the functionality and it needs the base license and the TPS license. Only if the active server goes down, sun cluster will trigger the stand-by server. The stand-by server needs secondary license.
